Plugable Technologies Intros New DisplayLink-Enabled USB Products
You may have never heard of Plugable Technologies, but you've heard of
DisplayLink. Or do we assume too much? At any rate, you'll know what
both are after the company's newest releases, which includes a pair of
new USB graphics products enabling easy expandability of any laptop or
desktop system with a spare USB port.
The UGA-125 enables multiple VGA, DVI, or HDMI monitors or projectors to be added to any system via USB 2.0 (one extra display supported per adapter); just toss this in your bag, and you can instantly turn a USB port into a monitor output. The second product in the UGA-125 family, the UGA-125-HUB, also includes a matching bus-powered 4-port USB 2.0 hub, and unlike proprietary docking stations, the simple hub solution works with any brand of computer, using standard USB 2.0 connectivity and components.
Both of these utilize the DisplayLink DL-125 chip, capable of displaying up to 1440x900 (widescreen) or 1280x1024 (standard) resolutions. Finally, the Plugable UD-160-A offers a 4-port USB 2.0 solution along with a DisplayLink chip, giving consumers the best of both worlds in one product. All three are available now on Amazon, with pricing set for $49.99, $59.99 and $96.99 in order of mention.
